Industrial Uses

1. Chemical Synthesis

Chromatography Solvent: Hexane is used as a non-polar solvent in column chromatography and thin-layer chromatography, helping in the separation of hydrophobic compounds due to its low polarity.
Extraction Solvent: It is commonly used in the extraction of oils, particularly in the food industry (such as in oilseed extraction), due to its efficiency in separating fats and lipids from plant materials.

2. Cleaning & Disinfectants

Industrial Cleaning: Hexane is used in industrial cleaning applications to dissolve oils, waxes, and greases from equipment and machinery. Its low reactivity and high solvency make it effective for cleaning mechanical parts.
Disinfectant Production: Although not a disinfectant itself, Hexane may be involved in the synthesis of cleaning agents and solvents used in the production of disinfectant solutions.

3. Lubricants & Automobiles

Solvent in Lubricant Additives: Hexane can be utilized as a carrier solvent in certain lubricant formulations, ensuring the uniform distribution of lubricant additives and enhancing performance under high wear conditions.
Automobile Industry: It is used in cleaning and degreasing parts in automotive maintenance and production. Its solvent properties help in removing oils, dirt, and residues from mechanical components.

4. Personal Care

Extraction of Oils: Hexane is used in the extraction of essential oils and active compounds used in cosmetics and personal care products like lotions and creams. It aids in isolating natural ingredients without compromising their quality.

5. Pulp & Paper Solutions

Cleaning Solvent: Hexane is used in cleaning machinery and equipment in the pulp and paper industry. It effectively removes oils and residues that accumulate during the paper production process.
